    3 months of finds...some great stuff!

    Below are some pics of the last 3 plus months of finds. All were found at local parks with the exception of a couple sterling pcs of jewelry that I found at a beach.

    I found a 1 Troy Ounce of .999 fine silver too. It was just under the grass and gave me a super high signal.

    That is a seated dime Love Token. I posted it alone a month or two ago. One of my best and rarest finds I've ever made.

    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter

    I remember that sweet find, I forgot it was seated dime, but it looks like it has a silver drop over the 8 in the date. Is it a drop of silver?

    Yes! I think it is almost like a very small silver rivet that attached the pin to the coin/token that must of broke and then it fell to the ground for me to find many many years later.

    Solid set of hunts Jared, and yeah, that love token is bad a?&! Those Vicky Canadian LC's are almost always 1859s. They minted sooooo many of them, but being made of bronze usually stand the test of time in the ground quite well. Congrats!

    Thanks John! I think I have 3 1859 LC's and my youngest son has one as well. And the Love Token is one of my favorite finds that I have ever made...
